#10: CONOR O'BRIAN
If you watched the original NXT (KISSING CONTESTS!!!), this name will sound awfully familiar to you. Conor O'Brian was the rat looking guy who was constantly belittled by his pro mentor, Alberto Del Rio. If you didn't follow NXT after that, O'Brian actually went on to form a wildly amazing tag team called “Ascension”. There were rumors Ascension was ready to be called up, until O'Brian's tag team partner went and got himself fired. Still, with the seasoning that he's now had, O'Brian will get his shot and it'll be fun to see him finally make it.
#9: BO DALLAS
Hey everybody, remember Bo Dallas? Y'know, the guy who won the NXT spot in the rumble and lasted for over 15 minutes? He eliminated Wade Barrett and had a mini program with him? No? Really? Well you should. Despite Bo Dallas suddenly disappearing off of TV after a few appearances, it was clear he needed more time to develop his character. Dallas will be back, and he'll make waves in WWE as he did early in 2013.
#8: PAIGE
Yep, a diva made this list. Paige will be the future of the Divas division, and may actually bring it back to relevancy. If you've never seen Paige wrestle, you're missing out. This girl can work. I don't see her being called up soon as creative barely addresses the divas division, but don't forget I mentioned this name. You'll see her kicking the crap out of AJ Lee in the future.
#7: XAVIER WOODS
You must be “Lost in the Woods” if you don't know about Xavier Woods. This man is a character, and I do mean that literally. Don't believe me? Go check out his NXT profile. I'll wait...you back? Great! Isn't that awesome? Hip-hop-kido! Seriously though, Woods isn't half bad in the ring either. WWE needs charismatic guys, and Woods would bring it up 3 notches whatever his character may be. This could be NXT's best kept secret.
#6: SAKAMOTO
Just kidding.
#6: RICHIE STEAMBOAT
Hmm... Steamboat... why does that name sound so familiar...Wrestlemania...three? YEP! The junior Dragon has wrestling in his blood, and his name. Being the son of the great Ricky “the dragon” Steamboat, you know you'll see Richie sometime in the very near future having great intercontinental title bouts with The Miz... okay, just kidding about The Miz having a good match. Steamboat however WILL have plenty of great matches whenever he gets called up. It's just a matter of time before he starts using his dad's entrance music...
#5: COREY GRAVES
Graves' MO in NXT is to “make sports entertainment dangerous again”. Nobody doubts that he will. This became a hot name at the end of last year, and it hasn't cooled off since. Graves has one of those personalities that scream “IT!! HERE!! IT!!!” at you. His ring work is great, and there's just this feeling I can't get out of my head that he'll be a World Heavyweight Champion before too long. Go find some Corey Graves match footage on your favorite video sharing site, and tell me you disagree.
#4: SAMI ZAYN
Scuse me for one sec, I just gotta get this out of my system... *clears throat* OLEEEEEEEEEEEEE OLE OLE OLE! OLE! OLE! OLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OLE OLE OLE! OLE! OLE! That's better. Anyways, the former El Generico is WWE's dream talent. He's a great worker, he's got personality for 3 lifetimes, he speaks different languages, and oh yeah he's already over as hell. Sami shouldn't need much time in WWE's farm system. We could see him by the end of this year or early next year, unless WWE goes all Dean Ambrose with him and won't debut him. If you've never seen an El Generico match, stop reading this article right now and go find one. You'll be glad you did. OLE! OLE!
#3: ADRIAN NEVILLE
PAC! This guy can fly. High. In the sky. With pie. Mmmmm, pie. But I'm off track. Adrian Neville is a man who could revitalize a “cruiserweight” type division in WWE, if that sort of thing were to be brought back. The CM Punk sorta-look alike from England has wrestled all over the world, and combines moves from all those styles in his set. He will blow the major television audiences away when he gets called up. Plus, accents. Yummy.
#2: KASSIUS OHNO
OHNO? OH YEAH! KO is sure to make it big, especially considering one of his friends is some guy named CM Punk, and his former tag team partner in the Kings of Wrestling is a yodeling jobber... okay, Punk is probably a better guy to know. The former Chris Hero is possibly the biggest indy signing Vince/HHH has made to date, and it isn't hard to see why. Ohno is an amazing performer all around, and he should be getting called up VERY very soon. Everyone will be chanting “KO” for this guy. But WWE's next big star has already appeared on TV before...
#1: BRAY WYATT
I know, I know. You're laughing at me because I put Husky Harris at the top spot of this list. Well let me tell you something. Get those laughs out now and go watch some Bray Wyatt promos & matches. Then stop laughing. Wyatt has improved MAJORLY since his days in the Nexus, and many consider him to be NXT's top guy. He may have already been on the roster had he not gotten seriously injured last year. While Ohno may get called up first, Wyatt will have a much bigger impact on WWE than him when he comes back.
